STATE OF THE UNION -- 2005 [Live Thread]
2/2/05

Posted on 02/02/2005 3:43:44 PM PST by Timeout

The pre-spin: Bush will spend about 1/2 the speech on foreign policy, 1/2 on domestic, with heavy emphasis on Social Security reform. It's said he will provide a detailed tutorial on the SS system and its problems with a few details on his personal accounts proposal.

Laura's guests are said to be an Afghan voter and an Iraqi voter (too bad there's no Ukrainian wearing an orange hat!).

Should we start a drinking game on how many times the pool camera swings to Hillary? Hmmm. Probably not...it would likely hamper out typing ability.

Word on the blogs has it that the closing part of the speech is a hum-dinger. Set your VCR's.

Report here on outrageous MediaCrat spin before AND after the SOTU. Pictures and screen caps welcome.

Kerry came in alone.

Sounds like a rancorous debate.

Mr President:

Why don't you just stand up and tell us what Social Security REALLY is? A GIANT PONZI SCHEME!

Oh and why not tell us about how your going ro get rid of the income tax and the IRS! Like you told us during the campaign. Remember?

I know I'm sounding pessimistic here but hey, it's time to come clean with the American people.
